Gerard Ryle is the director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, who are behind the Paradise Papers, the Panama Papers and other similar investigations.

Major revelations are continuing to come out of the Paradise Papers in Canada and around the world.

One prominent columnist dismissed the whole thing as “another cheap shot at the wealthy,” while other people are asking why this story isn’t causing riots in the streets.
